Do you have the knowledge, skills and experience in delivering exercise training interventions in clinical populations? Do you have an interest in gastric disorders and general surgery? Do you have the skills to support patients in addressing their long-term health challenges including de-conditioning, and supporting individuals on their journey in returning to active living?

UHCW NHS Trust is part of a new national network supporting patients with severe intestinal failure and is one of two new specialist regional centres working across the West Midlands. We are looking to grow our existing dedicated multidisciplinary team to support this expansion, we are forward thinking and strive for excellence within this clinical field and are excited to include a Clinical Exercise Physiology role in our enhanced service.

There will be opportunities for training and development with other specialist centres through the network across the UK, and the potential for clinical and academic collaborations as the SIF Network expands.

This post offers the opportunity to be part of the design and development of this new service at UHCW NHS Trust, with the support of the Clinical Leads and wider network. There is an intention for the role to develop which may include outreaching into the community and across the hospital into other clinical specialities such as oncology.
